Women’s Fitness Tips – How to Make the Scale Your Friend (Really)

For many of us ladies women’s fitness does not come easily. In a culture that is saturated with photos and images of women who are 5’10″ and a size 2, it is hard to know what our bodies should look like and how to keep fit in the first place. Our scales can easily become our enemies and we can end up feeling ugly, when we should be celebrating our beauty.

But I propose that you can actually make the scale your friend – as I have, and let it help you stay (or become) fit and healthy.

The first step is to find out what you actually should weigh and to accept it. Take a look online at a reputable site like WebMD.com and find out what the correct weight is for a woman of your height and build. Be honest with yourself and don’t try and fudge the numbers. Remember that there is tremendous pressure on all of us to look like Paris Hilton or Twiggy, but that should not be your goal. What you want is a real body with real curves that is healthy and fit.

Once you have determined a goal weight that is realistic and healthy, then it is time to start making friends with your body and your scale. Weigh yourself every morning at about the same time. I like to do this right after I get out of the shower. I know many people say that you should only weigh yourself once a week, and that can work, but I have personally found that I can keep my body more under control when I weigh myself every day.

The reason that I have moved to weighing myself every day is simple. It gives me instant feedback on what I did the day before. If I eat healthy foods and exercise than I maintain my weight (and can lose weight if I need to). If I eat junky foods and gorge, then I don’t. It really is that simple. The key to this method is that you can’t let that number on the scale dictate your mood. It is there to inform you of how to improve your behavior and nothing else.

Also you need to keep in mind that your weight will naturally fluctuate about 5 pounds so give yourself a target range rather than a hard and fast number. Having a range that I am aiming for helps to keep me from getting too emotionally involved in the number on the scale, and gives me permission to be a little heavier at “that time of the month”.

Women’s fitness is a tough issue for many of us, but if you can learn to admire your curves instead of hating them, and realize that unless you are a model you will never look like one (and be OK with that fact), it will get much, much easier for you – as it has for me. You are beautiful and you deserve to not only be fit and attractive, but healthy too.

Learn The Top 10 Article Marketing Tips That Will Guarantee Your Success

If you want to gain targeted exposure to your website or blog then you need to know what you are doing. I am going to show you the proper article marketing tips that will give you quality traffic to your website, and show you how to put together a proper article marketing campaign. These methods will guarantee you full success if you follow each step thoroughly.

Tip 1: Each article marketing tips will show you something important that you probably seen but didn’t know it mattered. Embedding keywords into the title, body, and signature of each article you create is a better way of ranking higher within numbers. This shows the search engines more relevancy to the keyword your trying to rank for.

Tip 2: When it comes to ranking for a keyword its not really hard. Numbers should never scare you it should motivate you to push for the number one spot. Look for keywords that have reasonable amounts of competition. Any where from 1,500 to 8,000 competition keywords are much more easier to rank for. You can use the free Google keywords tool to look for relevant keywords.

Tip 3: Create a catchy title so that people will be interested in reading your article. This is one of the things article writers fail to do. They make boring title that doesn’t even interest the reader. For example look at this title ” Steps on writing an e book”. This title is plain and boring it needs a bit of spice to it. Like this title ” Learn how to write a killer e book step by step”. See the difference how the title is written.

Tip 4: Don’t use too many big words in your article. There are many people online that don’t understand many big words, and if they have to refer back to the dictionary more then once they wont bother reading your article.

Tip 5: Don’t make your article look like a sales copy. That is extremely important because people are getting internet smarter every single day. And if it looks like a sales copy they wont bother. You have to talk about what you know that is a fact. If you want success then you need to do it right.

Tip 6: Submit your articles to as many directories as possible. The more directories you submit your articles to is the more traffic and visibility you will gain. Submitting them to at least 20 directories would be good enough.

Tip 7: If possible cloak your link with HTML coding. This coding looks much more professional and helps your article look less sales copy ish. This looks more professional and trick the minds of readers to think that this article is really an article and not just a link back to your website.

Tip 8: Most should already know this but I’m gonna say this because it is a powerful way to get traffic to your articles. Choose the most powerful article directory and submit the link to that article out to many social bookmarking sites. Though I would say EzineArticles directory is the best hands down it does take 7 days to approve. So I would social bookmark a “GoArticles” link instead of EzineArticles. Or you can do both once EzineArticles approves which builds great back links.

Tip 9: If you use photo’s make sure they are relevant and linked to your website. Some article directories will allow photos and through Google image search that is another way of getting traffic. So I would say that adding a photo and putting a link of your website to it will generate another source of traffic.

Tip 10: Don’t make your articles too long or too short because if its too long no one will want to read it. If its too short then you wont have the time to convince your reader to check out your website or link. Its important that you make it juicy and around 500 words so you can give your readers just the right amount to read.

These tips have helped me rank very high in the search engines. I get a good source of targeted traffic to my site because of the tips as followed. All I suggest that you read thoroughly and follow each tip so that you can rank highly in the search engines.
